Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 438

Yannis studied her. “What about your biological father? Do you want us to help you find him?”

No one had seen the twist in Zinnia’s origins. Jackson had always suspected Donald might not be her real father, but he’d never imagined those suspicions would actually prove true.

Zinnia hesitated briefly before answering, “No need. I have a father now.”

She felt no connection to her birth father–what if he was another Donald? It had taken her so much effort to break free from the Shaw family’s mess, and the last thing she needed was more drama.

After all, Donald had admitted spiking the hotel room with aphrodisiacs–anyone entering would lose control. Back then, Maelis, unaware the room had been vacated, saw a figure in the bed, mistook him for Donald, and succumbed.

Zinnia could only see two possibilities. First, her biological father might have been an unwilling participant- forced into the act and likely resenting her existence because of it.

Second, he could be the type to sleep with any woman thrown his way. If so, his character would be suspect. And if he ever found out about Zinnia, he’d only bring more trouble into her life.

Zinnia wanted none of it. Not searching was the best choice. Whether that man was good or bad, they had no connection.

Besides, after all these years, that man might already have his own family–a wife, children, and a settled life. Her sudden appearance could just end up disrupting their peace.

Zinnia was perfectly content with her life as it was and couldn’t care less about her biological father.

“Understood,” Yannis said, dropping the topic.

The hotel Donald booked back then was exclusive–only the elite could access the penthouse suite. Anyone present in that room would likely be wealthy or powerful, suggesting Zinnia’s biological father might have an extraordinary background.

But since she showed no interest in searching, Yannis didn’t push.

Watching Zinnia pop pastries into her mouth, Yannis said, “Don’t overdo it. I’ll make dinner.”

Zinnia nodded. “Okay.”

Yannis entered the kitchen, his phone rang. Glancing down, he saw Toby’s name on the screen.
